Steve Morse talks about new Deep Purple album, News Flying Colors DVD and more./
Steve Morse, legendary guitarist for Deep Purple, Dixie Dregs, Steve Morse Band and now Flying Colors, took time out of his schedule to join Shawn and Corbs of The GuitCast podcast to talk about his Ernie Ball Music Man signature guitars, his signature Engl E656 amplifier, the new Flying Colors DVD and plans for a new Deep Purple album scheduled for 2016.
Assembling various parts from different guitars, Morse told the guys about his attempts at crating his own version of a signature model until Sterling Ball, owner of Ernie Ball/Music Man asked him to design a guitar for his company. After trial and error the Steve Morse signature guitar was born. "As an arranger and a writer myself, I said guitars can do so much more, lets try to give it as much breath as possible". The result was one of the most versatile guitars on the market and it's brother the Ernie Ball Music Man SM-Y2D.
Flying Colors, Morse's latest project alongside bassist Dave Larue (Dixie Dregs, Steve Morse Band), Neal Morse (Spock's Beard) on keyboards/vocals, Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater, The Winery Dogs) on drums and singer/songwriter Casey McPherson handling vocals and rhythm guitar, will release their new DVD 'Second Flight: Live at the Z7' on Blu-ray, DVD, CD or LP formats. Available November 13 via Music Theories Recordings, it's the groups 2nd concert release celebrating their two stellar studio albums. The idea behind Flying Colors, combining virtuoso musicians with a pop singer, has served the group well as 'Second Flight: Live at the Z7' demonstrates.
Morse states that writing has already begun for the new, as yet untitled, Deep Purple album. Currently in the writing stage, recording is scheduled to start about the middle of January. Capitalising on the commercial & critical success of 2013's "Now What?!" album, legendary producer Bob Ezrin (KISS, Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper) will once again sit in the producer's chair.

The Hilal Dance School
Hilal Dance
Hilal Dance ® is the art dance based on all the creative, theatrical and educational work of Suraya Hilal. Avant-garde artist, Hilal, drawing upon her Arab/Egyptian cultural roots and her extensive research, has brought a new culture to the contemporary dance world. Hilal Dance, conceived in 2000, is now established as a complete organic system which encompasses:
- A specific Hilal bodywork, which reflects the holistic nature of the dance
- Movement centred on three concepts: Pendulum, Scissors and Spiral
- A choreographic language system that is rooted in the Arab/Egyptian culture yet expands into a contemporary idiom
- An expressive style inspired by Arab aesthetics, and guided by the concept of harmony of opposites and the balance of creative energy.
Tradition and Innovation
Meticulous field research that was conducted by Suraya Hilal from the 80s, resulted in a fully codified system of movement, establishing and clarifying three traditional categories: the Sha'abi, the Baladi, and Sharqi idioms of dance and music. This work has given birth to a real artistic dance movement in Europe and has become a cultural reference for all those involved in any kind of Egyptian dance. Hilal Dance essentially draws upon ancient roots maintaining the 'original spirit', and through refined aesthetics, expands the expressive potential, creating a contemporary and progressive language, that reaches beyond geographic boundaries.
Eastern knowledge
Hilal Dance is particularly related to the aesthetic which underlies Arab/Egyptian art and Eastern knowledge and wisdom of the body. This is reflected in the dramatic use of:
- The continuous line of expression that develops and returns to itself, renewed.
- A clear geometry of line both fluid and rhythmic creating a whole expression that is both abstract and emotional.
- The concept of repetition and improvisation.
- The refined attention to detail, as part of the whole.
- The inspiration and philosophy of the "harmony of opposites" in Hilal Dance, is guided by the search for a point of energy balance.
- Hence the centrality of the breath and the importance of inner movement that expands outward through space.
Hilal Dance captures the pure energy of what everyone loves about dance. It combines the joy and freedom of movement, with the refinement of line and expression. With its strong rhythmic and fluid movement, and subtle textures, the dance promotes integrated body alignment, fitness, flexibility and a complete union of mind and body.
The Hilal Dance School
The Hilal Dance School promotes dance training through classes and courses, thematic workshops, residential courses, professional and masters' programmes. For ten years since its inception, the Hilal Dance School has helped to disseminate and develop the work of Suraya Hilal.
Goals of the teaching:
- Provides the work for integrating the body, which gives the dancer the ease, grace and power of movement,
- Promotes freedom of expression by exploring the spontaneous musicality of the body
- Provides the training of breath work, which then promotes a feeling of vitality, wellbeing and the joy dance.
Specific learning objectives:
- Understanding and practice of the breathing yoga-based Hilal Bodywork
- Acquisition of the basic steps and movements (that are drawn from the concepts of the traditional and extended to the contemporary).
- Development of choreographic and improvisational skills and musical expression with the understanding of rhythmic and melodic structures.
- Developing the skills of theatrical expression.
The course of learning is practiced at various levels, from beginner to professional. Classes and Workshops are open to all dancers both male and female, all ages and backgrounds. Prices for all the courses of training are reasonable and affordable.
Vocational or professional training to become a dancer and or a teacher is available by invitation; graduating with the Hilal Dance Diploma or becoming an Associate. (please see Hilal Art Association)
Suraya Hilal and Alessandro Bascioni collaborate with a fine group of qualified teachers, dancers and professional trainees who are working successfully in their communities, their cities and countries. Among them are Thordis Carow, Sarah Hamilton, Sabina Todaro, Alaitz Arregi, Sabrina Siboni, Verena Lawrence and many others. (Please see Teachers) Together, through their inspired work, they promote and teach Hilal Dance throughout Europe and Australia in workshops/lectures, classes and performance.
Suraya and Alessandro also give workshops internationally and in Florence where they also run weekly classes. Special courses of a week long such as Hilal Dance Week in Düsseldorf are run annually. (Please see or click workshops and events)

|Surrounded (stoneware chainmail)
by Ruth Borgenicht
Have you ever thought of making ceramic chainmail? I thought of the idea to be extremely intriguing and wonderful for experimenting for Emotions In Earth project.
I would really appreciate if you would share your knowledge or experience on this subject.
It might be a challenge to create every single component that we usually use for creating jewellery, and are from other materials, to create them from clay.
There is an inspiring artist who actually expresses herself through ceramic chainmail (besides imitating other weaving techniques as well) - Ruth Borgenicht.
I am off now to try and make that chain and wish you in the meantime lots of good vibes for claying!

U.S. Representative Brad Sherman has introduced a bill that lawmakers hope will improve the international strategy of the United States for monitoring, reducing, and responding to biological risks.
Sherman, chairman of the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation and Trade, said the bill will support efforts to help other nations strengthen their ability to detect and cope with potential bioterror attacks.
The bill includes the requirement that the State Department provides an assessment of the global regime for biosecurity. The bill also calls for the creation of an international advisory committee of nongovernment experts that would serve as a consulting body for the International Biosecurity Initiative.
Another goal of the bill will be to encouraging the development and implementation of emergency reporting and response in the event of a breach of pathogen or laboratory security.
Staff members with the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee said they have met with members of the Homeland Security Committee staff to discuss the possible merger of Sherman's bill with the WMD Prevention and Preparedness Act of 2010, which was introduced in June, Biopolicy.org reports.
The bills, however, have not yet been scheduled for floor action.
Sherman is also supporting another bill he recently introduced, the Stop Iran's Nuclear Weapons Program Act, H.R. 6296, which hopes to increase economic and diplomatic pressure on Iran and its remaining business partners.
"Existing Iran Sanctions have had a significant impact on Iran's economy, but have not achieved the ultimate goal of ending Iran's nuclear weapons program," Sherman said, PoliticalNew.me reports. "We must continue to enact tougher sanctions to isolate Iran economically and diplomatically, and we must act now."

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has urged the African, Caribbean and Pacific group of states to review existing international regulations in its bid to address terrorism and armed conflict among member nations.
Osinbajo's spokesman, Laolu Akande, yesterday quoted him as speaking while receiving a delegation of ACP comprising its Chairman, Ambassador Amadou Diop; and the Secretary-General, Dr Patrick Gomes, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Wednesday.
Commending the leadership of the group for the work done so far, the vice president pledged to convey their message to President Muhammadu Buhari.
"Prof Osinbajo, however, emphasised the need for the group to review existing international regulations as it strives to address challenges of terrorism and armed conflict within ACP member -nations ," Akànde said. He also quoted Osinbajo as asking member -nations to remain united in pursuit of the organisation's objectives.
"Nigeria remains firmly in support of the ACP because we have benefited so much from the organisation. But I also want to emphasise the need for us to stay together," he said.

Yes the summer holidays are here upon us and it's time for some great family bonding. It's also the time when summer vacation activities like camps, swimming sessions, painting, dancing, tennis and music classes take over your children's lives. But you still find time hanging and your kids at a frantically bored loose end. And therefore if you are wondering what next for your little ones, don't despair. A good and extremely beneficial way of not only keeping them occupied experts say, but also developing character is by introducing them to household chores.
But today we live in a technology driven world where everything we want is delivered to our doorstep. We also have enough domestic help (maid/driver/gardener/cook), to get by, without lifting a little finger. So why would we want to burden our children with mundane household chores which we ourselves seldom do? But if doing so enables character building and prevents them from acquiring a feeling of entitlement-which is what usually happens when everyone and everything is at their beck and call- why shouldn't we, is the question.
So it would make sense to put aside our sense of guilt and motivate our kids to help out within the house and without. By making it a part of their early childhood education we would therefore be helping them to imbibe and acquire essential life skills that might stand them in good stead when they become adults. In fact educationist and researcher Dr. Marty Rossman says that 'involving children in household tasks at an early age can have a positive impact later in life, the best predictor of young adults' success in their mid-20's was that they participated in household tasks when they were three or four.'
There may be some resistance initially if they are not used to disciplined 'activities' as children are naturally highly charged and hyper energetic. But by rotating tasks and introducing them gradually- at short intervals -in a fun and enjoyable manner, you will soon find them eager and wanting to do more.
Praise also goes a long way in motivating them to do things better. Though rewards too help it is better to keep them to treats of an extra piece of cake or pizza/sweet rather than money or something more tangible which in the long run spoils the child.
Bribing a child to do things around the house is never a good idea. They might then begin to believe in the quid pro quo process which isn't healthy in growing children. But if it is to teach them and give them a sense of how to manage money then doling out an allowance in general of a few rupees could work for older kids and 10 year olds
Some chores/activities that 2-5 year olds can easily manage-
- Picking up and putting away toys/books
- Arranging the cushions on the sofa
- Buttering toast or paratha
- Keeping the living/bedroom/dining room in order
- Laying/wiping the table
- Picking up clothes for wash
- Putting away washed clothes for drying
- Fetching and carrying stuff
- Watering the garden
- Dusting
Some chores that 5-10 year old can manage
- Dressing themselves
- Making their beds
- Feeding their pets
- Washing the car
- Watering the plants
- Putting away the shopping
- Tidying their room
- Bathing by themselves
- Putting out clothes to dry
- Helping younger siblings
- Sharing stuff equally
- Polishing their shoes
Chances are that your kids might at first muck it all up. Nevertheless helping you or your domestic- help with chores will over time allow your kids to not only master them but even enjoy and take pride in them especially if you for e.g. convert them into games or races- one who cleans up/tidies up first gets a prize/applause etc.
Almost all of these simple tasks will make them-
- More responsible
- More disciplined
- Have more self- esteem
- More independent
- More unselfish
- More thoughtful and caring
- More mature/appreciative of things and people
- Have a sense of purpose
- Take pride in their work/possessions
- A 'team player'
- Feel important and needed
- Set standards
- Develop into well-rounded and more self-reliant personalities as they grow up
Children tend to imitate their elders (their peers as well) and since parents are their first role models it makes sense for you to show them by example. So with a little patience and a lot of love if you were to be around to not only demonstrate how chores are managed but also join them in doing so, you might find that your kids' summer vacation activities are as much fun for you as they are for them-more so if you turn every chore into an exciting fun filled game.
Use this summer vacation to also create an innovatively constructive environment that is suitable to hone their life building skills- for example
- Sorting out stuff/cleaning/wiping/arranging/tidying all go to promote healthy habits and good hygiene so the more the merrier
- Interacting with others is essential in developing social skills so invite their friends over
- Dissent and arguments are a part of childhood. So help them to settle it amongst themselves. It teaches them adjustment skills
- Chores teach them to understand how a home and family function, so different tasks at different times or even a daily/weekly task-activity planner would help
- Managing how and when to do chores helps them with time management skills so a time-schedule or a routine to maintain in conjunction with their vacation homework should work
- Decisions taken in consultation with them activate their thought processes and promote decision making skills, so brainstorm, as to what to do what and why/when, with them-even two/three year olds love to be consulted
- Rewarding/praising them for work well done teaches them the value of good work so appreciate every little thing they do well
- Taking them shopping, listing out what to buy, making the menu for the day-all these are chores /activities that help in also getting them to enjoy their vacation in an extremely profound grown up way
Thus with a little effort and forethought by appealing to their sense of importance and thrill of learning /acquiring new skills, and turning tedious household tasks into fun chores-interspersed with normal play/study time- you can turn your kids' long summer vacation into a beneficially happy activity filled holiday.

Originally Published: Sonoma Index-Tribune
Christian Keller, Index-Tribune Staff Writer
You probably won't see Brad Pitt, or even Jonah Hill for that matter, at a Sonoma Stompers baseball game this season. But there's a good chance you will spot one of two young men in the stands, the press box, or the bullpen, mining the game for elusive bits of information that are adding up to a championship season.
The 2011 movie "Moneyball" popularized the arcane science of sabermetrics. Now Ben Lindbergh, 28, and Sam Miller, 35, have been applying sabermetrics to Stompers ball since the beginning of the season as operations managers for the independent league team – the first such analytically-focused personnel to work with a team at this level, as far as anyone knows.
Saber-what? No, it's not a sharp-edged sword for slicing through the plethora of factoids any single game generates, but a deeper dive into those stats to come up with some measures that add to our understanding of the role individual players have in forming a winning team, or a winning season.
That Miller and Lindbergh are avid baseball fans goes without saying – Lindbergh was an All-Star second base softball player, Miller more into the Fantasy Baseball side of things. But obviously, somewhere along the line they became fervent statistics geeks.
"The Bill James definition of sabermetrics is the search for objective knowledge about baseball," said Lindbergh when we spoke with both him and Miller by phone last week. He's referring to the widely recognized founder of the field, whose 1977 self-published "The Bill James Baseball Abstract" started the trend toward high-level baseball statistical analysis. His annual book spawned the present-day "Baseball Prospectus" book series and website, for which both Miller and Lindbergh have served as editors-in-chief.
Named from the Society of American Baseball Research (SABR), sabermetrics downplays such well-known statistics as batting average, runs-batted-in and even on-base percentage in favor of more esoteric measures such as WAR (wins above replacement player) or BABIP (batting average on balls in play).
"I tend to think of it as using information in a rational way to understand games and make better decisions," said Miller from his home in San Carlos. He commutes up for game days, and since the Pacific Association independent league the Stompers play in has only four teams, there are only two games at any given time, meaning one of the two analysts are at every game.
In addition to their writing and editing for Baseball Prospectus, Miller and Lindbergh also have a podcast called Effectively Wild, usually analyzing major league players and their statistics. A year ago in their podcast they wondered if a small independent league team might be interested in applying sabermetrics to its operations.
Tim Livingston, director of media relations and broadcaster of the Stompers games (and fill-in contributor to the I-T), heard the show, talked to team general manager Theo Fightmaster about it, and they decided to give the pair a shot. They were hired as "additions to the club's baseball operations department," though Lindbergh points out that's a department that doesn't exist in most independent league teams.
Though they are not compensated, they also landed a book contract with Henry Holt to write about their season with the Stompers, whose working title is "Baseball Sandbox."
They even got an interview on NPR's "The Morning Edition" about the gig. "We're hoping it's the perfect place to kind of be a testing ground for some things that might not work as well in the majors," said Lindbergh in that radio interview.
So far, it seems to be going quite well. The Stompers have a 28-12 record going into the second half of the season, after earning the first-half championship. If they win the second half as well, they will be crowned league champs; if another team wins there will be a single-game playoff on Aug. 31.
"The team has been incredibly exciting to watch, just from the standpoint of really dominating the league," said Miller. Though he and Lindbergh shy away from taking full credit, they do believe their contribution is playing a part.
Since they came aboard preceding the season, their analysis helped shape the roster, the team that now takes the field three or four times a week and wins games. "We were as nervous and anxious as anyone when these guys showed up that we picked from a spreadsheet," said Lindbergh to NPR. "But luckily, they've all showed up and actually looked like baseball players, which we were very relieved to see."
As the season has progressed, Miller and Lindbergh and a squad of volunteers have diligently tracked every pitch, hit, play and run, both offensively and defensively. The pitches are recorded with the same technology many teams use, a two-camera computerized system called PITCHf/x that records speed, trajectories and location for each pitch.
They also videotape the pitcher's mound and the batter's box for the full game, then edit the footage to show players how they throw, how they hit, to highlight strengths and weaknesses in their play. The players themselves seem to be open to the information they're getting – not only about their own game play, but also about how to face opposing pitchers.
"A major league player would get an advance scouting report on a pitcher so they know what he likes to do, or what he's likely to do, or what his strengths and weakness are," said Lindbergh. His and Miller's reports are giving these independent league players the same level of information players in the Bigs get.
Miller and Lindbergh both emphasize the quality of the team's players, and their own role as part of the management team as a whole. "We do a lot of talking with the other decision makers in the organization about the best way to run the team," said Miller.
One member of the organization casually mentioned that one of the most valuable players on the team was outfielder Matt Hibbert. With a .304 batting average, 42 hits, 2 home runs and 17 runs batted in, he's clearly a good player – but his value emerges when you begin to look at some of the other statistics.
In short, he gets on base a lot. He has drawn 23 walks and been hit by a pitch 13 times, both statistics that don't show in his batting average. "And he's stolen some bases," added Lindbergh. "He's well-rounded and good at everything."
"I think another player that you might not notice in the stats is Isaac Wenrich," said Miller. "His batting average is pretty good though it's not at the top. However sabermetricians are able to more fully appreciate the effect that a good defensive catcher can have on a team."
Miller points to Wenrich's ability to "get more strikes from his pitcher because of the way he catches the ball, " and his skills at calling pitch sequences, keeping an eye on pitching mechanics and coaching pitchers through a game – it all adds up to his total value. Along with the team's other catcher, Andrew Parker, Miller concludes, "I would say we have the two best catchers in the league, it's not even close."
For the two "sabermetricians" it's been an exciting season so far, and an enjoyable one – especially for Lindbergh, who is spending the summer a long way from his Manhattan home. "I think we lucked out doing it here. Because of the personnel that's in place and the people that we work with, but also because it's Sonoma, a nice place to spend the summer. And there's a nice supportive community around the team."
The team plays at Arnold Field tonight, against last year's league champions the San Rafael Pacifics. First pitch is 6 p.m. And, according to the numbers, the Sonoma Stompers are favored.

The point of a beta is to get people to test drive the software. As it stands, there is still a significant amount of guesswork to go from running the IS binary to having a server up and running, and most of that is only obvious to people with extensive history with Apache on Unix, which I think is causing a significant number of people to just not try it out any further than the download and install.

West Linn boys race past Sherwood 79-44
To put it mildly, the West Linn boys basketball team did not enjoy its two-game, mid-January losing streak.
The Lions have done their best since then to put that mini-skid in the rearview mirror, whacking Sherwood 79-44 at Sherwood High School on Friday, Jan. 19, for their second straight win.
"We knew that … we hadn't been playing good the past few games, so we had to come out with energy and play defense and that's what we did," said West Linn sophomore guard Micah Garrett, who finished with 16 points on Friday night.
"We just had to focus on bringing the energy early," added West Linn senior wing Jalen Thompson, who added 22 points in the victory. "This was a perfect game to challenge ourselves with that and we have to do that every game, bring the energy early."
With the win, the sixth-ranked Lions improved to 5-1 in the Three Rivers League — good for a first-place tie with Lake Oswego and Tigard — and 9-6 overall. No. 28 Sherwood, meanwhile, lost for the third time in its past five games and fell to 3-3 in TRL play — good for fifth place — and 10-6 overall.
As to that early energy Thompson mentioned, the Lions definitely brought it, racing out to a 10-point lead just 3 minutes and 46 into the contest. During that early stretch, it was Thompson and Garrett who carried the load, with Garrett scoring on a lob from Drayton Caoile and burying a 3-pointer, while Thompson hit a "three," knocked down two foul shots, then made a steal and scored on the fast break for a 14-4 lead with 4:14 remaining in the opening quarter.
That said, the Bowmen hung in there, settled themselves and put together a 7-1 run over the next 2:19 to close within 15-11. Sherwood senior Jace Sucher started that stretch with an inside hoop, junior Tyler Hix followed with a 3-pointer off an Owen Grubbe assist, and sophomore Jamison Guerra tacked on two foul shots to bring his team within four points with 1:55 to go in the opening period.
That, however, marked the end of the Bowmen's highlight reel. Over the next 9:41, the Lions took off on a 31-7 scoring run that boosted their lead to 46-18 late in the first half.
West Linn knocked down 10 of 13 shots during that run, with Thompson pouring in 12 points (Including two more "threes") during that stretch, senior Keishon Dawkins heating up for seven of his game-high 24 points, Ahmir McGee adding four, and Cade Knutson and Logan Maly both hitting 3-pointers of their own.
In that same stretch, the Bowmen were held to just 2 of 15 shooting from the floor — those baskets from Guerra and Grubbe — and 3 of 4 free throws while committing five turnovers as the Lions' lead ballooned to 46-19 at the half.
"(It was just) defense and working together as a team," Garrett said. "Making the extra pass and moving the ball around so everyone gets the ball. When we play like that, that's when we play great."
The Lions then added a 28-18 scoring edge in the third quarter to put the game even further out of reach at 74-37, with Dawkins pouring in 14 points (12 of those on four 3-pointers) and Garrett adding another nine.
Sherwood, meanwhile, got eight third-period points from Guerra (including a "three"), four points by Sucher and 3-pointers by both Grubbe and Nick Koronko.
Now, with eight TRL games left, the Lions are focused on what's ahead and what it will take to get where they want to go.
"It's defense," Thompson added. "That's it."
Guerra led Sherwood with 13 points, Grubbe had 10 and Sucher seven in the loss.
Next up, West Linn plays at Newberg at 7:15 p.m. Friday and at Tigard at 7 p.m. Jan. 30, while Sherwood plays at Tualatin at 7:15 p.m. Friday and at Canby at 7 p.m. Jan. 30.

Get environment-friendly with an artificial turf
Artificial turf is a technologically sophisticated and also environmentally friendly item out in market today, permitting homes and also businesses to embrace even more sustainable living while looking out for the environment. Consumers and also organizations alike have actually crowded to providers and installers of fabricated grass because of its money saving as well as eco friendly benefits that continuously offer themselves for a number of years, throughout the lengthy lifetime of artificial turf. Converting a normal turf backyard to an artificial turf backyard is a significant and considerable means to examine and also reverse the unfavorable results on the atmosphere in the present day. By changing to different household enhancements such as synthetic turf such results could be managed and even produce a new expects the ecological community of later generations.
As soon as synthetic lawn is installed, so starts the procedure of home water conservation. It is estimated that approximately 22,000 gallons of water each home is used on watering a single grass throughout a single year. 22,000 gallons of water can load as well as whole standard sized in ground swimming pool. If you place it into point of view, each house in an area could consume a whole pool just on watering yards in a solitary year. With how eco wasteful this is, a single product-artificial grass can considerably minimize, if not entirely do away with this figure, saving entire swimming pools worth of water as annually goes by. Because artificial turf can last for a number of years, the amount of water preserved remains to expand with the life time of the grass. With many states that have passed lawn watering guidelines as a result of droughts, embracing an artificial turf yard removes the demand for following policies, as it does not need a solitary decrease of water.
Synthetic turf does not need mowing also aids to positively influence the setting by getting rid of noxious exhausts. In the previous years has launched shocking figures pertaining to lawn mower emissions. It is reported that a synthetic turf long island adds to an equivalent quantity of air contamination as forty-three new automobiles that have each owned an overall of 12,000 miles. Moreover, a single family makes use of 800 million gallons of fuel a year just on cutting their grass. The mixes of too much gas use as well as air pollution add to terrible emissions that develop risks for the atmosphere and the total top quality of living. Besides willful uses gas, there are likewise gas spills and accidents that better exacerbate unfavorable environmental effects. Regarding 17 million gallons of gas a year are unintentionally splashed while refueling yard tools as well as lawn mowers.

A good script, good director, and a good crew are all elements of making a good movie – however, more than anything, good casting could bring it all together to make it a great cinematic experience. There are few movies that thrive on an actor carrying an entire film by himself – but when he does, the entire film becomes amazing.
In 1963, Andy Warhol experimented on the concept of anti-film in "Sleep" where all he did was take 321 minutes of footage of his friend sleeping during the entirety of the film. A year later, Sunil Dutt produced and acted in "Yaadein," a film that went on into the Guinness Book of World Records for being the first Indian film with the fewest actors in a narrative.
However, the concept of a film being brought on by a single actor is becoming less unusual nowadays, and to prove that point, here are some movies where only one actor carried it in its entirety.
The Man Who Sleeps (1974)
The critically acclaimed French drama by Bernard Queysanne and Georges Perec is based on Perec's 1967 novel A Man Asleep. The premise is simple: an alienated young student (Jecques Speisser) decided to abandon the world he knew and wandered along the streets of Paris. A woman narrates his innermost thoughts as he goes along, and the cinematography focuses on the student's rituals as the audience follows him in what seems to be real-time as he wanders from place to place.
The utilization of black-and-white emphasizes on Queysanne's love for exposure and contrast, but nothing in the film brings attention to itself. Instead, the viewers remain focused on the calm voice that relates the man's thoughts and life in his silence.
Buried (2010)
A coffin, a man inside it, and a fistful of items that could save his life if he doesn't run out of air. These are the only three things present in the film by Rodrigo Cortes, and only Ryan Reynolds appears on screen.
The story revolves around Paul Conroy, a truck driver working for a private contractor in Iraq. His truck was ambushed, and when he woke up, he was inside the blackness of what appears to be a coffin. He finds a cellphone, realizing that he has been kidnapped and is being held hostage. He speaks to other characters via the phone, but many of the people he tried to reach to for help are out, busy, or passing him along to someone else, and literally making him waste away his breaths.
Reynolds and the limited cinematography dictates the audience's reactions to the film, but despite the limited space, the actor proved that he can hold his end up to a movie.
127 Hours (2010)
The biographical survival drama starring James Franco tells the story of how a man survived his trip to the chasm of an isolated slot canyon in Utah.
Based on a true story, Franco's Ralston found himself literally between a rock and a hard place when he accidentally slips and falls while climbing down the canyon. His attempts at removing the boulder where his hand was lodged and his cry for help were of no avail, so he set on recording a video diary on his camera to record his fate.
While there are a few other characters in the film such as hikers he met, his girlfriend, and his sister, most of whom appear in flashbacks, the majority of the film focused on Franco's character. His performance was nearly stellar too as he was nominated for six Academy Awards for the film, including Best Actor, and 127 Hours for the Best Picture.
Cast Away (2000)
There were a lot of people involved in the movie, but for two-thirds of it, Tom Hanks had to tell the story on his own, and that accounts for something.
Cast Away is about FedEx executive Chuck Noland who flies all over the world as he attempts to fix everyone's problems. He hitched a ride on a FedEx flight across the Pacific, which was blown off-course and crashed after an on-board explosion. He was the only one to survive the crash, and to save himself, he held on to a life raft until he reached a deserted island. The only thing he could speak with during his time on the island was a volleyball, which became the plot device to illustrate his character's alienation and need for companionship. Chuck then painted on a face and named it Wilson, and you would never remember another time where you cried over an inanimate object with no lines in a film.

product description from goodreads.com
For Lily Drake, slaying vampires is easy...Dating them is the hard part.
Lily Drake is your everyday hard-working single mom…until a gorgeous vampire shows up on her front door who she mistakenly assumes is her blind date for the evening. As one crazy scenario after another unfolds, Lily finds herself falling in love with two vampires, slaying the evil ones, and being prophesied as the savior of the entire undead race.
Deciding between pizza and Chinese take-out will no longer be one of the hard decisions facing Lily Drake once she is emerged into vampire society. Humanity or immortality? That doesn't hold a candle against this question - which of the two handsome vampire cousins?
The Life and Death of Lily Drake is not your typical vampire love story. It's a tale about the humorous mistakes a woman makes simply trying to survive not only life, but the dating scene. How will Lily manage working full-time, taking care of her young son and fighting the undead at every turn?
Lily will have to figure it out, but who better to save the world than a mom?
My Review:
LIFE & DEATH OF LILY DRAKE was such a fun, entertaining read that held up to its promise of a vampire tale unlike any other. It starts off with a typical, everyday mom, Lily Drake, who's agreed to a blind date. A late suitor and unexpected visitor leads to Lily going out on said date with super-hot vampire Mathias, who ultimately leads her into a world filled with vampires and royal (or cursed, depending on your thoughts, lol) bloodlines.
Lily is such a great character, strong and independent and ready for anything. She is super focused on raising her son Keaton, and is ready to do whatever it takes to keep him safe--which causes her some major issues throughout this novel. I'm not gonna elaborate because I don't want to give away the story, but suffice it to say that Lily finds herself in some hot water a few times through the course of the book!
LIFE & DEATH OF LILY DRAKE is a great story filled with humor and mystery and tension that is sure to please any lover of both vampires and heated romances.
My Rating:
I'm happy to give LIFE & DEATH OF LILY DRAKE 5 Stars and urge you all to pick up a copy today!

Ephesians 6:10-18
As we approach our passage today, it's easy to fall into one of two extremes. Whenever I mention "spiritual warfare," some Christians seem to be obsessed by it and see virtually everything that happens to them as related to it. Others seem to live in denial, thinking that since "Satan is a defeated foe" that there is no battle at all. Today, I'd like to take a thoughtful middle ground and say that spiritual warfare is a reality, that's why God gives us the spiritual armour we're going to read about shortly. At the same time, we need not fear defeat in this battle, precisely because God gives us the spiritual armour we need to be successful. Of course, it is up to us to pick it up and use it.
As I read the New Testament the reality that we are in a spiritual battle is hard to miss. We will be in this battle until the end of our physical lives. I suggest to you when it seems we are not engaged with the enemy, it is not because we have won the battle, but that we have compromised sufficiently with him that he doesn't waste his time on us.
Ephesians 6:10 "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,"
This time, I'm going to look at the passage in a more sharply focussed way, looking at the ideas we find in each verse, thinking about and applying them to our own situation. We'll pick up with verse 10 where we read: Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. This tells me that this spiritual battle in which we find ourselves is too much for us to handle on our own. We have no option other than depending on God's strength. Most Christians face moments when every fibre of their being tells them to give up and get out. But surrender to the enemy is not the answer; surrender to God is. Submit yourself to Him and ask for the resources you need to do what He has called you to do.
Verse 11 begins, "Put on the whole armour of God." This isn't too difficult. If my neighbour asks me to come and bring my tools, I know we're going to be working. If he asks me to bring my musical instrument, I know we're going to be playing together. If he asks me to bring my appetite, I know we're going to eat. When Paul says "put on the whole armour of God," it's because we're in a fight – a dangerous one. We could get hurt.
In the same verse, he goes on to give the reason. It is so that we may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. This suggests to me that the fight is mostly a defensive one. If you consume much sports programming on the media, you will have heard: "The best offence is a good defence." How many prominent preachers have been brought down by their neglect of their own spiritual health? They were onstage fighting Satan, but crashed in defeat when Satan sent a sexual temptation to their hotel room a couple of hours later. Our temptations will always be where we are weak, but we are likely to fall in one of the areas of power, money or sex.
Verse 12 reminds us of who the enemy is. "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places." This fight is not against people no matter how much they annoy us. They are merely agents in the hands of the enemy, just as we are agents in the hand of God. We don't waste our time attacking people for their godless positions. We stand firm in the truth and serve as beacons to those who are looking for it. The fight is not in the physical world – it is a spiritual one and thus largely takes place in the mind of the believer.
One of my favourite authors, C. S. Lewis, wrote a delightful little book called "The Screwtape Letters" in which he imagined the letters of an older demon, named "Screwtape" to his young nephew, named "Wormwood." This book is a powerful reminder of some of the ways Satan and his demons distract us from the voice of God. Here's a brief excerpt:
"I once had a patient, a sound atheist, who used to read in the British Museum. One day, as he sat reading, I saw a train of thought in his mind beginning to go the wrong way. The Enemy, of course, was at his elbow in a moment. Before I knew where I was I saw my twenty years' work beginning to totter. If I had lost my head and begun to attempt a defence by argument I should have been undone. But I was not such a fool. I struck instantly at the part of the man which I had best under my control and suggested that it was just about time he had some lunch. The Enemy presumably made the counter-suggestion (you know how one can never quite overhear what He says to them?) that this was more important than lunch. At least I think that must have been His line for when I said "Quite. In fact much too important to tackle it at the end of a morning", the patient brightened up considerably; and by the time I had added "Much better come back after lunch and go into it with a fresh mind", he was already half way to the door. Once he was in the street the battle was won. I showed him a newsboy shouting the midday paper, and a No. 73 bus going past, and before he reached the bottom of the steps I had got into him an unalterable conviction that, whatever odd ideas might come into a man's head when he was shut up alone with his books, a healthy dose of "real life" (by which he meant the bus and the newsboy) was enough to show him that all "that sort of thing" just couldn't be true. He knew he'd had a narrow escape and in later years was fond of talking about "that inarticulate sense for actuality which is our ultimate safeguard against the aberrations of mere logic". He is now safe in Our Father's house." (The Screwtape Letters – C. S. Lewis) By which, of course, he means Hell.
Sometimes we think of spiritual warfare only in terms of temptation to sin, but as Lewis points out, Satan also distracts us and promotes doubt as well as presenting opportunities to sin. These may arise without demonic intervention of any kind.
Given what we're facing, Paul challenges us to "Take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. If there were any doubts before, these words convince us that our fight is DEFINITELY a defensive one. Satan has nothing to offer for which we would be prepared to do battle. All he offers is sin and death and hell. It is God who has all the good things we might want. In Christ we have things which Satan would like to take away from us – things like the fruit of the Spirit and effective ministry, for example. We arm ourselves to be able to withstand the onslaught of the evil one.
In verse 14, Paul begins with the command "Stand therefore." I have been really impressed with the repetitions of this command. Apparently, it's not our job to make advances. Victory for us is not letting Satan gain ground. In various parts of the world, you'll find old forts and castles. These were designed to keep the enemy out. They were for defensive purposes only. Our job, as far as our faith goes, is to "hold the fort."
Then, right away, Paul begins mentioning specific items of armour which we can use in this defensive battle. The first he mentions is "the belt of truth." The truth is essential to hold everything together just as a belt does. We cannot respond properly to temptation if we don't know what God says about things. We might think that cheating other people out of what we have promised to give them is OK, if we didn't know what God says about justice. We might think that hating our enemies is OK, if we hadn't read what the Bible says about loving them. And so on. We need the truth. We find that in the Bible.
Next on the list is "the breastplate of righteousness." It is interesting that Paul mentions righteousness in connection with the piece of armour which protects our heart from attack. There is perhaps no deeper wound than the one we feel when Satan accuses us accurately of a sin we have accepted and harboured for a long time. It is ironic that after we have hardened our heart against the gentle reproof of the Spirit, we will fall not in repentance to God, but in defeat to the sharp thrust of Satan raising the same issue.
We need to do two things in regard to this. Firstly, we live as righteously as we possibly can so that Satan cannot accuse us of sin. Secondly, because we all fail, we need to embrace the righteousness of Christ, which we receive through His death for us. Remember, God puts our sin on Him and puts His righteousness on us. In 2 Corinthians 5:21 Paul wrote: "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him."
And now, the clock tells me we have to stop for today. I'm sorry to leave you in the middle of a passage without getting to its conclusion, but to give adequate time to Paul's comments about spiritual warfare and the armour God gives us to defend ourselves, we have to take a break until next time.

Tafea FC team manager, Mr. Stephen Felix has made it clear that even though the club is facing a lot of challenging, they still have one objective to play well and try to qualify for the second round.
"On behalf of Tafea FC, our preparation for the upcoming OFC Champions League has been very much affected by Tropical Cyclone PAM."said Stephen Felix, Tafea FC team manager.
"Our training programs have been interrupted for 14 days…Our fund raising plans have also been affected."
We had cancelled two of our preparation games in Port Vila and two in Noumea." He added.
"All of our players are local players and have been psychologically affected and have lost concentration on football because their homes and gardens have been severely damaged by the Cyclone."
"We did organize a game with the Vanuatu U23 team last Thursday but lost 3-0 and had to cancelled all the training sessions since then until yesterday to allow the players to continue organize their homes and rebuild their houses first before we can get back into serious football trainings."
"We were supposed to call all our players to camp yesterday but had to cancelled the plan again because some players are still picking up the pieces and putting their life back together and also because it is Easter, we want our players to spend time with their families before we travel to Fiji next week."
"We know it is going to be very challenging in these circumstances, our objective in the tournament has not changed. We would like to go as far as possible in the tournament and play for our families and for Vanuatu and bring some happiness into the lives of the fans affected by this devastating cyclone."
"Thank you to the OFC and the regional football families for remembering us in these trying and challenging times." He concluded.
Tafea FC will travel to Fiji next Tuesday night.

How to contribute
My old friend and neighbour, Derek Hutchings, has asked me to put some items regarding Hurstpierpoint College, Brighton, on the site. Although a former nuclear scientist, he is not comfortable with the Internet! He attended the college through WW2 under the name of Derek Rogers, and his stepfather, AEW Rogers, was a master there too. In his 'junior year list' (1943), you can see the name: G. Van den Bogaerde. This was Dirk Bogarde's brother, Gareth.
Memories of the end of the war
Derek recalls the end of the war, when the boys could at last take advantage of a small section of the beach at Brighton. Another memory is of delivering fresh food products to Hanningtons, courtesy of his parents, by bicycle. At the end of the school terms, 'Carter Patterson' vans were utilized to take the boys, and their luggage, to Hassocks Station, on their way home for the holidays. He also remembers a senior boy, and young female staff assistant, being asked to leave in haste, due to what can only be described here as, a 'romantic liaison'!
Any old boys around?
Derek is heading towards 80 now and wonders whether any of these pictures / items will trip the memory of any 'old boys' still knocking around from his years?! He also has a few 'Hurst Johnian' year books, but they have too many pages to put online here. At any rate, he hopes all this of general interest to the My Brighton and Hove site users.
Helpful notes for the photographs
The amateur dramatics play c1942, is being performed by The Village Society, with two Hurstpierpoint masters, Mr A.E.W. Rogers and Mr Wood, on the far left of the stage. It was a J.B. Priestley play about suicide apparently.
The two Hurstpierpoint Chapel pictures were taken at the Choral Service of Seven Lessons and Carols held yearly. This was 1942, and Archbishop Temple preached a sermon. Mr A.E.W. Rogers was on the back row on the far right. He was Derek's step-father and taught mathematics, amongst other things. Derek is in the chapel procession, probably the fifth chorister, but not really visible!
The Chapel Tower photo is probably pre-war. The tower could be seen from the railway across the fields, just before entering Hassocks Station. All the buildings were covered in knapped flint.
The magazine, 'The Hurst Johnian' was notable for recording casualties of OJ in the war, and also sports matches played against local schools, like Brighton College etc. The School Lists gave a record of students and masters over their years at 'Hurst'.

You can thank the iPhone and its bigger screens, in part, for the growth of mobile commerce in the 2015 holiday season. But, the iPhone 6 and the 6+ were only part of the mobile commerce growth story, said ChannelAdvisor Executive Chairman Scot Wingo during a break at NRF Big Show 2016.
New payment systems are really helping people shop online more seamlessly, like Apple Pay, PayPal has a one-click kind of solution. And the apps make it easier to buy things. Wingo pointed out that you don't have to flip through and scan in to see the pictures, and that retail apps have become much more responsive. The design and feel is also much friendlier for shopping.
"There's just a general adoption of ecommerce on phones and people are getting more comfortable shopping on them," Wingo said. "Retailers are going mobile-first – they themselves are consuming the content and acting like a shopper on the phone. That's just going to result in a better customer experience."

Ramsey Milholland by Booth Tarkington
Chapter XIII
Ramsey passed the slightly disfigured Linski on the campus next day without betraying any embarrassment or making a sign of recognition. Fred Mitchell told his roommate, chuckling, that Linski had sworn to "get" him, and, not knowing Fred's affiliations, had made him the confidant of his oath. Fred had given his blessing, he said, upon the enterprise, and advised Linski to use a brick. "He'll hit you on the head with it," said the light-hearted Fred, falling back upon this old joke. "Then you can catch it as it bounces off and throw it back at him."
However, Linski proved to be merely an episode, not only so far as Ramsey was concerned but in the Lumen and in the university as well. His suspension from the Lumen was for a year, and so cruel a punishment it proved for this born debater that he noisily declared he would found a debating society himself, and had a poster printed and distributed announcing the first meeting of "The Free Speech and Masses' Rights Council." Several town loafers attended the meeting, but the only person connected with the university who came was an oriental student, a Chinese youth of almost intrusive amiability. Linski made a fiery address, the townsmen loudly appluading his advocacy of an embargo on munitions and the distribution of everybody's "property," but the Chinaman, accustomed to see students so madly in earnest only when they were burlesquing, took the whole affair to be intended humour, and tittered politely without cessation--except at such times as he thought it proper to appear quite wrung with laughter. Then he would rock himself, clasp his mouth with both hands and splutter through his fingers. Linski accused him of being in the pay of "capital."
Next day the orator was unable to show himself upon the campus without causing demonstrations; whenever he was seen a file of quickly gathering students marched behind him chanting repeatedly and deafeningly in chorus: "Down with Wall Street! Hoch der Kaiser! Who loves Linski? Who, who, who? Hoo Lun! Who loves Linski? Who, who, who? Hoo Lun!"
Linski was disgusted, resigned from the university, and disappeared.
"Well, here it isn't mid-year Exams yet, and the good ole class of Nineteen-Eighteen's already lost a member," said Fred Mitchell. "I guess we can bear the break-up!"
"I guess so," Ramsey assented. "That Linski might just as well stayed here, though."
"He couldn't do any harm here. He'll prob'ly get more people to listen to him in cities where there's so many new immigrants and all such that don't know anything, comin' in all the time."
"Oh, well," said Fred. "What do we care what happens to Chicago! Come on, let's behave real wild, and go on over to the 'Teria and get us a couple egg sandwiches and sassprilly."
Ramsey was willing.
After the strain of the "mid-year Exams" in February, they lived a free-hearted life. They had settled into the ways of their world; they had grown used to it, and it had grown used to them; there was no longer any ignominy in being a freshman. They romped upon the campus and sometimes rioted harmlessly about the streets of the town. In the evenings they visited their fellows and Brethren and were visited in turn, and sometimes they looked so far ahead as to talk vaguely of their plans for professions or business--though to a freshman this concerned an almost unthinkably distant prospect. "I guess I'll go in with my father, in the wholesale drug business," said Fred. "My married brother already is in the firm, and I suppose they'll give me a show--send me out on the road a year or two first, maybe, to try me. Then I'm going to marry some little cutie and settle down. What you goin' to do, Ramsey? Go to Law School, and then come back and go in your father's office?"
"I don't know. Guess so."
It was always Fred who did most of the talking; Ramsey was quiet. Fred told the "frat seniors" that Ramsey was "developing a whole lot these days"; and he told Ramsey himself that he could see a "big change" in him, adding that the improvement was probably due to Ramsey's having passed through "terrible trials like that debate."
Ramsey kept to their rooms more than his comrade did, one reason for this domesticity being that he "had to study longer than Fred did, to keep up"; and another reason may have been a greater shyness than Fred possessed--if, indeed, Fred possessed any shyness at all. For Fred was a cheery spirit difficult to abash, and by the coming of spring knew all of the best-looking girl students in the place--knew them well enough, it appeared, to speak of them not merely by their first names but by abbreviations of these. He had become fashion's sprig, a "fusser" and butterfly, and he reproached his roommate for shunning the ladies.
"Well, the truth is, Fred," said Ramsey one day, responding darkly; --"well, you see the truth is, Fred, I've had a--a--I've had an experience--"
So, only, did he refer to Milla.
Fred said no more; and it was comprehended between them that the past need never be definitely referred to again, but that it stood between Ramsey and any entertainment to be obtained of the gentler but less trustworthy sex. And when other Brethren of the "frat" would have pressed Ramsey to join them in various frivolous enterprises concerning "co-eds," or to be shared by "co-eds," Fred thought it better to explain to them privately (all being sacred among Brethren) how Ramsey's life, so far as Girls went, had been toyed with by one now a Married Woman.
This created a great deal of respect for Ramsey. It became understood everywhere that he was a woman-hater.
